143 Reorder List

143 Reorder List

Reorder List image

You are given the head of a singly linked-list. The list can be represented as:

1
2
3
L0 → L1 → … → Ln - 1 → Ln

Reorder the list to be on the following form:

1
2
3
L0 → Ln → L1 → Ln - 1 → L2 → Ln - 2 → …

You may not modify the values in the list’s nodes. Only nodes themselves may be changed.

 

Example 1:

image

1
2
3
4
**Input:** head = [1,2,3,4]
**Output:** [1,4,2,3]

Example 2:

**Input:** head = [1,2,3,4,5]
**Output:** [1,5,2,4,3]

 

Constraints:

1
2
The number of nodes in the list is in the range [1, 5 * 104].
1 <= Node.val <= 1000
